"#Aotearoa's only #ParasiticPlant has been rediscovered in #Wainuiomata, after wild populations of the species were thought to be #extinct from the region for more than a century... Te pua o te Rēinga, also known as wood rose or Dactylanthus taylorii, is endemic and critically threatened... the last documented observation of a wild population was in #Kaitoke in 1914."

Did you know that plants can be parasites too? 🌱

Our new special issue cover shows the parasitic plant, Striga, infecting rice roots. See Kirschner et al. (2023). 🌾

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.

Hier: eine Wiese voller Sommerwurzen. Diese parasitischen Pflanzen wachsen häufig, aber zerstreut auf mageren (Halb)trockenrasen. Im Moment sind sie häufig auf Almwiesen zu finden. #Biodiversity #Bloomscrolling #parasiticplant #mountains

#CandyCane #plant - #Allotropa #Virgata - it's found in oak, hardwood & coniferous #forests of #VancouverIsland . Grows up to 1500 meters in elevation. #IndicatorPlant - if you see it, return in Fall & look for #pine #mushrooms & you'll find them. They feed on #PineMushroom #mycelium - #ParasiticPlant

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen.

Hier: kennt ihr die Schuppenwurz? Eine vollparasitische Pflanze fast ohne Chlorophyll die mit ihren Wurzeln Nahrung aus den Leitbahnen ihrer Wirte saugt. Standort: z.B. Auwälder. Die Pflanzen blühen erst nach ca 10 Jahren. Selten, weil die passenden Habitate immer seltener werden. #biodiversity #Biodiversität #natur #parasiticplant #Frühling #ArtenschutzIstHabitatsschutz
